This Christmas, spare a thought for those less fortunate than yourself.
And there is nobody less fortunate than Alistair Darling, who appears as the second of our Labour Party Christmas tree decorations here.
"Less fortunate?" I hear you say.
Yes - less fortunate. He's rather like the chap who appeared in the famous Volkswagen Golf advert as he walks out of a casino, having bet a million on black - just the latest in a long series of financial failures.
The difference is that the financial failures can almost all be traced back to the former Chancellor, Gordon Brown and now poor Alistair finds himself hated by almost everyone in Britain as he has to raise taxes to pay for all of Gordon's many cock ups.
In short, he won the world of politics Booby Prize. He is now taking the blame for all of Gordon's 10 years of so-called "prudence" and in in the process has become one of the most despised people in Britain. A future career in pantomime surely beckons?

"A future career in pantomime surely beckons?" The Dame in Snow White no doubt!
Balls is probably hated even more, and is well suited to the job, having been the 'brains' behing the gobbler's erratic plans all the time he's been there.
I can't wait to see your rendition of this painfully ugly nasty little children's 'minister'...
Scrobs: don't worry...Ed Balls' bauble is ready to hang from the tree...
